Frequently Asked Questions
What Surfaces Can Be Refinished?
Our refinishing system works beautifully on porcelain, cast iron, acrylic, fiberglass,
laminates, wood, vitreous china and ceramic tile.
How Does Refinishing Compare To Replacement Costs?
Surface refinishing will almost always be a fraction of the cost of replacement. You may
save anywhere from 50-80% over the cost of replacement. The cost of replacement not
only includes the fixture but the labor for removal, plumbing, carpentry, sheet rock and
tile setting, plus the time that you cannot use that surface or fixture. Surface refinishing is
very eco-friendly, it allows us to restore a surface to a like new state, helping conserve
natural resources.
How Durable Are Refinished Surfaces?
We use the most technologically advanced and durable coatings available. These finishes
are consumer safe and designed for daily use with normal care and maintenance.
Can I change The Color Of My Existing Surface?
Yes! Choose from standard bathroom finishes, or we can duplicate any color from
Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Kohler, Aquaglass and many more. You are only
limited by your imagination.
How Long Do I have To Wait Before Using The Surface?
Most surfaces can be used within 2-4 hours from completion!
Why Should I Refinish Instead Of Using A Tub Liner?
Liners are at least 5 times as expensive as refinishing. Liners use acrylic or PVC plastic
pieces molded to fit your tub and glued in place. Improper installation or measurement
may cause a gap between the tub and liner. Over time, the flex can cause a crack in the
liner surface. Water can enter this gap causing mold and mildew to grow causing a
squishy feel producing obnoxious odors and a unhealthy environment for your family.
